FPA Signs Coalition Letter Opposing Oregon’s SB 543 and SB 544

The undersigned organizations, representing a cross section of employers including packaging and consumer product manufacturers, material suppliers, retailers/grocers, agriculture, restaurants, and others urge you to oppose SB 543 and SB 544. Taken together, these bills would impose new and costly requirements on our industries, delegate unfettered authority to the Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) to ban any type of plastic packaging it deems “unnecessary” and fail to account for the recent enactment of one of the nation’s most comprehensive packaging recycling and waste reduction programs.
